Why not put the heater straight into the fv?

Hello Just started brewing kits, seem to struggle maintaining temperature, have left bin in airing cupboard but think it might be getting too warm... Do people use ambient temperature as a gauge or actual temperature of the brew? Has anyone used a fish tank heater to maintain the temp...

Hello Has anyone else brewed this kit? A friend gave me a bottle to try & I must say it was pretty good, so thought I'd give it a go.

I'm thinking they ommit using real honey in the kit as its a natural sugar and would cause problems making the concerntrate for the brew, could always prime bottles/keg using honey...

Brewed yesterday, brewed short at 20ltrs using light spray malt & topped up with brewing sugar to give it a little more strength...

Was going to give this a go next but was thinking brewing a little short and also adding a couple of ltrs of lemonade at the brewing stage to give it that extra Mexican feel... Or do you think at the conditioning stage?

In short, I would brew this again, good brew in the end, cloud does clear if you place it somewhere at room temperature after chilling down for a few days... Good final AVB (8%) defiantly couldn't drink more than 3 bottles without awakening with a headache though, which my wife seemed to make...

Almost finished, carbonating in bottles, very cloudy & sediment settling in the bottom (which I don't mind, as you expect this bottled conditioned beer) wish I tried to clear or filter out before bottling, hoping it will clear when ready to cold clear it.
